There is ALWAYS something new. Even if we aren’t in the market to buy, it’s in our face. Watch. Read. Buy. Repeat. I am starting to think that my adaptation to constant newness must have an impact on my expectations of church and ultimately God. On Sunday my pastor spoke about how he fears every sermon will be a new infomercial. Something people are intrigued with for thirty minutes, and then forget about when they shut it off. (unless it’s the The Perfect Brownie infomercial. …
When I come into contact with people who’s writing or speaking I admire, I try to play it cool, but it never works. Like yesterday, I was at Pepperdine University and had the privilege of spending the entire day with a relationship researcher and author who has impacted me greatly. Before noon, I had already said the following: 1) “I read your book a year and a half ago and then I Facebooked your daughter.” 2) “We are your stalkers for the day…we will be …
I have been wondering for awhile now, how I want to present my final opinions on birth control. One of which was to present facts and figures, the other, to share my heart. Since data can often be subjective to those doing the research, I have decided to go back to the beginning and simply share what questions I had that catapulted me into this. I have also realized that there shouldn’t be a concrete opinion on this, since technology will always be changing and …
I have been absent the last few weeks due to weddings, moving both my apartment and office and then driving to Montana for a week. I am currently sitting, looking out over Whitefish Lake and sad to be leaving shortly.
Questions What are the implications of this on our generation? Our children? How many of you fast forwarded part of this and/or multi-tasked while it was playing?
“Some worship music is like spiritual masturbation for women.”
“Did she just say…”
“Yeah, I think she did.”
I have five weddings in two months and I feel like my carnie size feet are disliking the stiletto-heel time they are facing. I need a foot rub…and a boyfriend to do it for free. I’m taking applications. Boyfriend or not, there is a lot going on at a wedding ceremony, which can leave little time for reflection. It can be especially hard for me when I am so busy stuffing my face with mini-crab cakes and lil’ smokies. (note: of the two weddings so …
The greatest fear I have, in relation to a man, is to be raped. In my mind, I have played out what I would do. Run. Scream. Kick. Bite.
I imagine and hope that an unnatural super-power-esque strength would be unleashed.
I want to be a heart surgeon. On the day that I pick up the scalpel, I will also crack open Heart Surgery for Dummies. “C’mon Leon, shhh…close your eyes. It says here the patient will appear to be sleeping. Yeah, do that, just start counting sheep. Oh, wait, unbutton your shirt first….Ok so, if I was lying face up on a table my heart would be on what side?…right…ok…got it. This is going to be so easy. Shhh Leon, just relax.” I flew to …

“On this trip I think we should notice it, explore it a little, to see if in that strange separation of what man is from what man does we may have some clues as to what the hell has gone wrong in this twentieth century. I don’t want to hurry it. That itself is a poisonous twentieth-century attitude. When you want to hurry something, that means you no longer care about it and want to get on to other things.” -Zen and the Art of …
I have loved this song’s lyrics for awhile now and am a sucker for anything that has strings in it. Just found this video and thought I would share… Im gonna miss you. Im gonna miss you when you’re gone. She says, “I love you, I’m gonna miss you in your songs.” And I said, “please, don’t talk about the end,don’t talk about how every living thing goes away, She said, “friend…all along I thought I was learning how to take, how to bend not …
I take classes from time to time for Coaching. (Please remove the image you have of me as a 50 year old beer bellied man whose athletic career peaked when he scored the winning touch down at his high school homecoming.) The classes are for Life Coaching, which interests me since I like telling people how I think they should live. Surprisingly, coaching is about letting the person realize that the answer is within them. This means I have to keep my mouth shut and …
I know I promised blog entries with thoughts and ponderings…but I add to that “all things unicorn” or “funny” or…why am I having to justify myself? This is my blog? p.s.
